To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, BENTLY GILL HARRIS, a citizen'of the United States, residing at Ethridge, in the county of Lawrence, State of Tennessee, have invented a new and useful Hay- Rack, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in hay-racks for hauling hay, sheaf-grain, &c.

.I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in

Figure 1 is a view of the structure when unfolded. Fig. 2 is a end view of the rack when folded up.

Similar letters refer to similar parts.

The longitudinal sills A and the cross-sills B constitute the mainpart of the frame. The

cross-sills B are set in and firmly fastened to longitudinal sills A. The jointed ends of cross-sills H are connected with main crosssills B by hinges G. The wheel-arches E and side boards F, with the jointed ends H of the cross-sills, constitutethe wings. The extensibleuprights G are made of double frame. The inside frame 0 is made just small enough to slide inside of the outside frame (1 and is mortised in rollers D. The extensible uprights 0 are made to close up and shut down between the longitudinal sills A.
